With the favorite daughter being home, our day2day schedules have been altered. \u00a0But, I’ve still been hitting the road. \u00a0But, I’ve been home every evening.<\/p>\n
Friday evening, while sitting outside at the picnic table, we were chatting about stuff\u2026just random stuff. \u00a0I made a comment about a good cheeseburger. \u00a0Kela had a remark or two. \u00a0Then she said, “You know. \u00a0I have eaten a burger in every country that I have been to.”<\/p>\n
Of course, I had to ask questions. \u00a0Best burger, how many countries, etc.<\/p>\n
She answered all questions. \u00a0Six continents. \u00a0Lots of countries. \u00a0Best fast-food burger–In N Out. \u00a0 Best burger— that turned into another story. \u00a0 It maybe wasn’t the best burger but\u2026..<\/p>\n
She was working for the Amazing Race. \u00a0Long shooting hours, whole different time zones and a late night. \u00a0“Well, I was wore out, starving and just kind of wanted a drink of something for a night cap. \u00a0So, here I was ordering a burger. \u00a0 I got a bottle of wine. \u00a0I sat there beach side with a burger, a bottle and I was in Bali. \u00a0It was all just kind of perfect.”<\/p>\n
I mentioned something about a cheeseburger in paradise. \u00a0“Dad, it wasn’t playing out loud but it was playing in my mind.” \u00a0 When she was young, she loved for me to play that Jimmy Buffet greatest hits CD. \u00a0She would sing that song over and over. \u00a0Seems fitting now.<\/p>\n
With her being home, the family came to the house on Sunday. \u00a0I smoked up some pork butts, fresh corn and taters and there was plenty of other fixins. \u00a0Both sets of grandparents as well as uncles and aunts from both sides and plenty of cousins. \u00a0Cousins aged from 8 months to 28 years. \u00a0Cool deal!<\/p>\n
I am still learning about greenhouse type plants. \u00a0My mom and Tammy’s mother are both really knowledgeable about plants. \u00a0They have been huge resources for my learning about these plants. \u00a0And they both help the students. \u00a0Tammy’s niece also works part time at a nursery in Stillwater. \u00a0While talking about several different succulent plants, Tammy’s brother Todd mentioned that he had a confession about caring for houseplants.<\/p>\n
A decade or two ago, his wife took a teaching job several hours away. \u00a0He stayed home to work and keep the house operational. \u00a0She entrusted all of the house plants to him that winter. \u00a0He made an effort to keep them living but only had luck with one plant. \u00a0He watered that plant, talked to that plant, might have even shared a cold one or two with that plant. \u00a0It stayed green until she moved back home. \u00a0He was proud of that plant. \u00a0A few months later\u2026\u2026\u2026..his wife broke the news to him about that plant. \u00a0Yep, it was plastic.<\/p>\n
Today, I took a team of jr. high kids to judge at NOC sheep field day. \u00a0Clayton Washmon made a hand and was 3rd high individual. \u00a0Good trip, great kids. \u00a0I got word during the contest that Tammy was having a bad day. Sasha–the tri color Queen B corgi at our house–was sick and had a pancreas problem. \u00a0She is only 11 years old so hopefully they can get her healed up.<\/p>\n
And Duke had to go to the emergency room. \u00a0He turned white and all but passed out while working at the Vet Clinic. \u00a0Turns out he got bit by a tick while at FFA alumni camp. \u00a0They’ve (hospital not Vet clinic) got him on antibiotics and everything should be fine. \u00a0His color is now good and he is griping a lot this evening. \u00a0I think that he is close to being back to normal.<\/p>\n
I practiced my engineering skills on this fine evening. \u00a0I used a wee bander to castrate a kid (goat). \u00a0Every time that I use that thing, I have to watch the instructional video to remember how it works. \u00a0And it does work.<\/p>\n
Speaking of working, I’ve got stuff to do and places to be tomorrow.<\/p>\n
